Film, TV, Cable & Broadcast Network Companies

We are known for our ability to combine art and science, an approach which has led to the development of sophisticated valuation techniques that have influenced rules and regulations concerning the treatment of IP and other intangible assets.

• We valued a motion picture production company that was purchased as part of the acquirer's restructuring plan. Our valuation included brands, vast film libraries, distribution rights, studios, and related assets.
• We valued a national television network and other assets acquired for $6 billion by an east coast conglomerate.
• We valued a leading television cable channel network operator that was acquired by a large media company.
• We valued broadcasting networks for purposes of divestiture by an international media firm.
• We provided an independent appraisal of the original Beatles Tapes for insurance (replacement cost) purposes.
• We provided valuation consulting services to a broadcasting company, for financing purposes, to assist the firm in the restructuring of its debt and continuance of operations.
• We valued media libraries that were acquired by a global producer of news and entertainment product.
• We provided property tax assistance to a client that purchased a historic movie studio property, which had been reassessed by the county based on a newspaper account of the purchase price. In an appeals hearing, we were able to successfully demonstrate an overstatement of assessed value due to the inclusion of prepaid current expenses and phantom assets.
